Am I Forgiven? Wild Turkey says I am!

We were at Costco and saw a bottle of Forgiven. My wife had read about it and shown me the info. It was half Rye and half Bourbon. I do not have fond memories of Rye from the past. The combination of Rye and Bourbon was given high praise from various sources.

WILD TURKEY FORGIVEN
This small-batch, limited-edition whiskey was made from a unique, hand-selected blend of 6-year-old bourbon and rare, high-proof rye whiskies. The bourbon and rye flavors complement the best of each other to create a bold, creamy vanilla and oak opening, and a long, smooth finish with hints of pepper, clove and cinnamon.

It is 91 proof.

I poured about a ¼ inch into my favorite bourbon glass. I like my whiskey cold. In this case, I decided to try it neat. I sipped and it was good They were right about the combination of 6-year-old bourbon and rare, high-proof rye whiskies. It was very tasty and smooth! I poured another ½’ into the glass to make sure of my impressions. It was very good.

If you get a chance try it, it is a small batch. I will have to stock up.

Has anyone else tried it yet?
